Chapter 378: 378
Watching how the attractive young girl and Xue Wei were so close, and the fact that they had spent so much time together, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun suddenly felt a stifled feeling in her chest .
She did not know why, but she was not feeling good about it . Even so, she quickly got hold of her feelings and suppressed the unhappiness .
She was the one who had left Xue Wei back then . She was also the one who hated beasts more than anything .
Why was it that now, when she had left him and when she obviously was supposed to hate him, that her heart ached and she was feeling uncomfortable .
She was not even sure about the relations.h.i.+p between Luoluo and Xue Wei, but she had already thought of the worst .
Luoluo and Xue Wei were busy checking whether or not this encounter was truly a fortunate one, or if it just seemed like that on the outside .
Luoluo sat down, her body being checked from every angle, and the smile on her face started to surface .
"It removed all hidden injuries, and my body has even gotten a sheer amount of energy . Not to mention, my energy has changed to have a strange affinity with the element of Ice . "
When she said this, Luoluo was quite puzzled .
"Elemental affinities usually connect to Qi users, not Spiritual Energy users, but it seems that exceptions happen from time to time . I guess it has something to do with the Winged Snake . "
"Winged Snake?" Xue Wei frowned as he looked at Luoluo"s wrist, where the tattoo could be seen . He had not seen the snake elsewhere, but a bit of familiarity could be seen in the depth of his eyes .
"That"s right," Luoluo nodded her head . "When I was inside the mist, I saw a big frozen four-winged snake . It was so beautiful, so ethereal, and I am sure that the snake was the reason for my continued advance and healing . "
Xue Wei nodded his head and rubbed her at the top of her hair . Although she was now older, she would always be his little sister; even if she grew older than him one day, she would still be his cute little sister .
But while the gesture was very innocent in the eyes of Xue Wei and his companions, it was causing w.a.n.g Xiaoyun to feel uneasy .
"We should move on," Xue Wei said after realizing that Luoluo was fine .
"The luck in this location has already been used up; if we stay here, we will not get any more fortunate encounters throughout the rest of the trip in the Ascended"s Realm . "
He looked at them all who had gathered together . "I was wondering who is going to continue traveling with us, and who wish to split up?"
Although he knew that no one was going to split up, he gave them the chance to choose for themselves .
He had already spent some time together with the Vermilion Bird Clans, and he had understood that they would put all the blame on him if everything went bad .
Although he did not care about how others looked at him, he could not be bothered to be blamed consistently .
As he had expected, everyone quickly agreed to move together . Although, what he had not expected was that the one who hesitated the most was w.a.n.g Xiaoyun, and his heart clenched . Why was she suddenly showing him the cold shoulder?
After traveling for a full day, Xue Wei continued to observe w.a.n.g Xiaoyun, and he noticed that she was extraordinarily listless and walking at the back, not paying attention to anything .
When they sat camp for the night, Xue Wei hurried to w.a.n.g Xiaoyun"s side .
"Can I talk with you?" He asked gently, and he saw that w.a.n.g Xiaoyun glanced at him, then looked at Luoluo, before she nodded her head silently .
Not sure what to make of her glance, Xue Wei frowned, but he gently left the camp, closely followed by w.a.n.g Xiaoyun .
"Xiaoyun, what"s wrong? You haven"t seemed very comfortable today; I am worried about you . " Xue Wei said with his most caring voice .
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun looked at Xue Wei and bit her lower lip; she bit so hard that the lip turned pale before a drop of blood appeared .
Xue Wei felt his heart clench by this and quickly helped her ease, "don"t harm yourself," he said distressed .
"Wei, I will be honest with you," w.a.n.g Xiaoyun took a deep breath . "I like you, I have always liked you, but I am a simple woman . You are a beast, and this is something I am already having a hard time accepting, but more than that, if something is to happen between us, then I need to know that I will be your one and only lover for the rest of our lives . If you betray me, I will leave you no matter how much I care for you . "
Hearing the words w.a.n.g Xiaoyun was saying, Xue Wei"s heart was beating rapidly . He was suddenly so filled with excitement and happiness . Since he met w.a.n.g Xiaoyun, she was the only woman who held a spot in his heart . Although he cared about Luoluo that was like one care about a sister, not like one would treat their lover .
"You are the only one I like," Xue Wei said solemnly . "I can"t stop thinking about you; I only want to be close to you . I even decided to become so strong that I could end the war in Chang"an for your sake . "
"But what about you and Luoluo?" w.a.n.g Xiaoyun could not help but ask; tears were threatening to spill from her eyes .
"Luoluo?" Xue Wei was perplexed . "She is my sister . "
